Puig works on warm beige toned paper, constructing the anatomy of the figures with a firm and modulated graphite line. To give the composition three-dimensionality and volume, the artist masterfully uses white chalk—applied with precision to the faces, the infant's hair, and the nimbus-like halo—and subtle touches of ocher pigments to define the folds of the clothing. The inclusion of two birds fluttering above the halo adds a note of lyricism and compositional freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eReasons for the collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDelicacy and mastery of drawing:\u003c\/b\u003e Stands out for the masterful use of mixed media on toned paper, achieving remarkable luminosity and volume with very restrained artistic resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUniversal and timeless iconography:\u003c\/b\u003e The scene of motherhood transcends the purely sacred to become a piece of great aesthetic sensibility and pleasant decorative presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTraceability and authenticity:\u003c\/b\u003e Work signed and dated by hand in the lower right corner by the artist herself (\"roser puig 1957\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHigh-level presentation:\u003c\/b\u003e Preserved in excellent condition, protected by glass and framed with a large format passe-partout that amplifies the visual weight of the drawing within a clean-lined wooden frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roser Puig\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"8\"\u003eMaternity \/ Virgin and Child\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic illustration \/ Catalan drawing from the mid-20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/b\u003e Mixed media (graphite, white chalk, and earth pigments) on toned paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtwork dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 41 x 30 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions with frame:\u003c\/b\u003e 68 x 52 cm approx.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSignature:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower right corner (\"roser puig 1957\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,8,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFraming:\u003c\/b\u003e Smooth natural wood frame with protective glass and a large format passe-partout in a neutral coffee tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,9,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,9,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent.
